Ryan Seacrest preps music show for NBC

Ryan Seacrest is planning to expand his business empire.

The TV star is reportedly in talks with NBC to do a music themed show.

The program won’t be a traditional competition show, and it’s not clear that Seacrest would serve as host.

At this stage, the potential series is in the preliminary stages of development, with the concept still being fleshed out, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The new project won’t compete with American Idol the FOX show Ryan is paid $15 million a year to front.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense to host a show competing with Idol,” Seacrest said in March.

“I think it’s possible [to be the face of another show in the future], but at this point I certainly have not even gone down that road because Idol is in a great place, so I think we’re just enjoying that and we want to focus on that.”

Seacrest recently topped the Hollywood Reporter’s fourth annual Reality Power List.
